I was born with Spina Bifida where part of the spinal cord and its membranes are exposed through a gap in the backbone. Mine was located right above the last two vertebrae. Within two weeks of birth I had corrective surgery to close the hole on my back, leaving my last two vertebras literally pinned on to the rest of my spine. There was water on my brain and the doctors told my family I could be brain damaged and be badly paralyzed. The doctors did not realize I had a praying mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. My grandmother told me that when I was two years old she took me to church, sat me on the altar, and everyone prayed for me. The Spina Bifida left me totally incontinent and with not enough muscles in my calves or feet to walk properly, and I swayed badly. I am 46 now, and the pain in my legs was so bad that I could not move freely and could not walk very far. I had gotten to the point that if I went shopping, I had to have a scooter. Each step I took was a real effort because of the pain in my legs and spine. My urologist told me he could do nothing for me last March after had had removed my right kidney because it had died, due to a previous surgery on it. By that time my first thought was, "But, God!", because I had been in Mr. Gaffney's meetings for more than 17 weeks and knew my God was an awesome God. I sensed in my spirit this was my time.......
I had prayed for years and years and had gone to numerous healing services. This past Thursday night, June 12, 2003, for the first time, I went to the healing service with my mind set that I would not be denied and I would come with a pure and contrite heart. I was having my breakthrough. I sat on the edge of my seat waiting for Mr. Gaffney to call all who needed a healing to come down. I jumped out of my seat nearly running to get down there. After Mr. Gaffney said, "Receive your healing," it was like a gentle wind pushed me over. I felt the breeze over me as I lay there. I knew there were two women who had come to pray over me. They prayed and left but I still felt a huge masculine hand cover my forehead, but there was no one by me at that point. I knew it was the mighty but gentle hand of God who new rested His own hand on my brow. I laid there in awe and did not move until I felt the hand lift. I got up believing that creative healing was beginning to happen, and my left leg had grown two inches longer. I laid in bed that night and felt spasms in my toes then in my feet, up the back of my legs, then up the front of my legs, and it moved up to what had been a paralyzed bladder. I fell asleep knowing my God was truly healing all of me. I asked God, "How do I thank You for such a powerful gift that has radically changed my life?" He said, "Bring me souls."
